Tibetans Warned For Saga Dawa
Phayul
29 May 2006
Chinese authorities have ordered Tibetan government employees not to
visit temples and monasteries during Saga Dawa, the fourth month of the Tibetan
lunar calendar. Tibetan Buddhists traditionally believe that generous deeds
committed during this month will yield particular merit. "Government employees
in Lhasa have been ordered not to take part in religious activities during Saka
month and if they did, their salaries would be withheld", a resident of Lhasa
said on condition of anonymity.
